The Pretty-faced Chaser

"Okay, so now that we're in the car, what do we do next?"

Sitting in the driver's seat of her sports car, Yenn turned to the woman next to her.

Regina leaned over to Yenn's ear and whispered, "We ask for the book. But I don't think she'd give it to me if I asked."

Regina took a glance at Chloe as she chatted with Nova and then sighed. On her way down, she had been trying to engage Chloe with small talk, however the little girl had deflected every single interesting topic she could come up with, with simple answers. There was no way Chloe was going to give her the book that she was holding so close to herself just like that.

"Chloe." Yenn turned around and called. "Can I have your dad's book?"

Chloe tilted her head as she looked at Yenn with question.

Chloe's gasp soon interrupts Regina's thoughts.
